@matt_horncastle With ease

How can anyone ever vote left again after covid?

@chrisluxonmp Was there anything happening in the world three years ago that caused that inflation? And how did our inflation compare to other countries?

This time three years ago inflation was 7.2%. National was elected to lower inflation - right now it sits within the target band at 3%. National’s economic management has brought inflation down, which has brought down interest rates, saving you money.

@NZNationalParty You guys are tired already huh? No new ideas, just the same old stuff time after time.

#BREAKING: From tomorrow, if you’re meant to be looking for work but fail to meet your benefit obligations, there’s two new sanctions you could face.

@NZNationalParty You created the challenging economic times with decisions you made.

In challenging economic times, we’re managing the books carefully so we can  invest in infrastructure, health and education. It’s all about prioritising the key things NZ needs to grow, and for Kiwis to get ahead.

@actparty Boring.

The big challenge for growth is shrinking the Government part of the economy. There are only two halves to any economy, the public and the private sector, and it’s the private sector that provides the growth.

@NZNationalParty Boring

We make no apologies for being tough on gangs.

@nickarockel Yes 💯

Are you concerned that our new Minister of Health was president of anti-abortion group, ProLife Auckland, at University.

@Campbell_Barry I see you went with the board shorts option! Great action shot!

Always innovating…

@chrisluxonmp You don’t actually care about people, do you. This is just some nasty stuff. Just when ya can’t think National could sink any lower, you do! How National has any supporters is beyond me.

To tackle welfare dependency head on, we are driving a comprehensive package of welfare reforms, which will ensure those on benefits who can work receive the support they need.     We know that tough economic times can mean Kiwis need to fall back on welfare as a safety net. This is as it should be. But we must ensure it’s not just a safety net but a springboard, helping them build brighter futures through opportunity and independence.     To achieve this, the we’ve introduced the following support:   1. MSD is now offering phone-based case management to 10,000 people, increasing the total number of people with employment case managers at any given time to 70,000.   2. Everyone supported by an employment case manager will be eligible to receive a comprehensive work-readiness needs assessment examining any education, transport, addiction, health, and childcare issues they may have.   3. Case managers will work with these job seekers to construct a personalised plan of agreed actions to address these issues. Job seekers will be supported by work-readiness, literacy and numeracy, driver training, mental health, counselling, and addiction services as required.

@WPRTRADIO Lol. Retweeting something I posted over 4 months ago. Are you okay 🤣

She sounds reeeetarded. 🤷

@WPRTRADIO @FleurFitzsimons Why are you so interested in people’s genitalia? Weird.

@FleurFitzsimons Was he able to define what a woman is? Or does he still confidently think men can have babies and a penis? Asking for all real women of New Zealand and beyond.

Wow, what a speech Chippy! Full of positive confidence and optimism for New Zealand. A clear message to working people that Labour backs you!

@chrisluxonmp ‘Our Government will deliver for every New Zealander’. What have you delivered for people with disabilities? For Māori? For people doing it tough? Tax cuts don’t count. Cos they were tiny, and didn’t help the economy in the slightest. You haven’t achieved anything positive.

One year of getting New Zealand back on track.

@madmanchap What a horrific read.

@actparty @EndWokeness You are so embarrassing.

We’re the party this protest was targeted at. We’ve proposed a law to guarantee equal rights for all New Zealanders, regardless of their ethnicity. The party doing the haka is the Māori Party who, among other things, advocate for a separate race-based Parliament, education system and health system. Read about our proposal here: treaty.nz

Meanwhile, New Zealand's Parliament:

@BexGraham WHAT!! This makes me sick 😔

@NZNationalParty The epitome of arrogance, disregard, and sheer callousness is what you have been doing to disabled people since you came into power.

Parking in an area reserved for disabled people is the epitome of arrogance. We’re getting tough on this selfish behaviour.

If you’re thinking about parking in a disabled car park without a permit, you might want to think again. We’re increasing the fine from $150 to $750.

If we still had a Labour govt we would still have - a construction industry, new Ferries next year, a public health service, clean rivers, new schools, low unemployment, low inflation, apprenticeships for our young, a failed business model for energy but a chance of a future.

Important piece here from @JoelMacManus thespinoff.co.nz/politics/23-08…

@chrisluxonmp @ChrisMinnsMP Tell him about your constant attacks on vulnerable people.

It was a pleasure to meet with the NSW Premier @ChrisMinnsMP. New Zealand and New South Wales share a special relationship. Home to a large Kiwi community, it’s our fifth largest export market and our second largest source of foreign direct investment. We had a great discussion on what we can learn from each other and how we can keep the relationship strong.

@Ash_Stewart_ @jacindaardern Take me back

Absolutely incredible to watch this @jacindaardern video be pinged around the world. In the last 48 hours, it's seemingly gone everywhere from the UK to Pakistan, and has even gone viral in Lebanon - becoming another tool for protestors to push for change
